First timers, but this was no beginner`s luck 🏃‍♂️

Ben Vaske, a 30-year-old from St. Paul, Minn., ran 15:10 to mark the fastest men’s winning time since Joe Moore’s event record of 14:53 in 2003. Vaske edged four-time defending and seven-time overall champion Scott Behling, who finished a close second in 15:12.

14-year-old Violet Sigsworth, meanwhile, became the event’s youngest-ever women’s champion when she crossed the line in 19:27. A ninth grader from Thunder Bay, Ont., Sigsworth has only been running competitively for three years, and recorded a personal record while running most of the race with her dad, Kip.

Both were running their first-ever Fitger`s 5K. We sure hope it`s not their last 😀
